Got a good rate for a comfortable room and booked the car parking for £10 per night.I checked in early to set the room up as a surprise for my wife. Check in was smooth, clerk was friendly enough and let me pre pay rather than on check out. 1st impressions of the hotel are striking, really looks nice. Reception is very nice and the lifts and corridors are spotless. You have to use your room card to operate the lifts which is a good feature.The room itself was lovely. The bed was huge and could fit probably 5 people on! Bathrooms were very swanky-all black with kind of neon lighting. Wooden floors in the room, floor to ceiling windows with a view over the corner of racecourse and of the castle. A nice stay, with a nice room and good facilities.For some reason though, I just wasn't as blown away by The Abode as I thought I'd be. There's nothing wrong and you'll have a good stay but I was expecting the wow factor and got the "meh" factor.

Booked a Comfortable room based on experience visiting the Manchester Abode.Whilst the hotel was sharp and clean with excellent facilities, it was very much more of a standard 4* style than the quirky boutique style of the Manchester Abode. To dock rating points for this though would be petty as it was still fair value. If you're looking for more of a treat though it's worth upgrading to a Desirable room as the one or two little tweaks make the experience a little more special.The bar and restaurant area were up on the top floor and provided a great view of the twinkling Chester commuter traffic lights. The cocktail offerings were interesting and tasty and the food was of an impeccable quality and beautifully presented. Good customer service from all members of staff encountered.Parked across the road in the NCP as parking at the hotel was limited. Wifi in room had strong signal.

I booked this hotel as it was in close proximity to both the city centre and to where friends live. It looked nice on the website and the reviews were generally very good so we booked. The rate wasn't particularly cheap but when we entered our room, we definitely decided that it was value for money. The room was a decent size with lovely furnishings and the bathroom was stunning. A nice selection of different teabags, hot chocolate and proper coffee, and nice biscuits!! The room had an ironing board and iron which was a great touch. The staff on reception were very friendly and the bar was nice too. My only criticisms were that there was no bath and the bed was a little bit too soft, but we could definitely live with it....oh and I must mention the room service breakfast. It was lovely and a real treat to have breakfast in bed but we ordered 2 bacon rolls, however 1 bacon and 1 sausage were delivered!! No big deal as my husband eats anything but the waitress was happy to change it if necessary. Other than that, it was an enjoyable stay and I would definitely book this hotel again.

Visited for an early Valentines Day treat. Booked an Enviable room and arranged via Katie in reservations for chocolates to be in the room on arrival. To my surprise on arrival we were upgraded to the Sea Pigeon Fabulous Suite. The service from start to finish was faultless, standard of accommodation and cleanliness superb. I have no hesitation in recommending this hotel as it is quite simply stunning. Location is perfect for the shops and bars, the only thing I regret is not trying the Michael Caines restaurant on this occasion but I'll be sure to when I next stay. Thank you to all at aBode Chester for a truly memorable stay.

Booked the Abode Chester for my fiancé and I, on a £99 all-in deal for dinner, bed and breakfast for the night on Sunday 29th Jan 2012.

What can I say about this hotel? It was simply amazing, the most lovely place we have ever stayed at. Arrived at the hotel to a very happy and smiley receptionist (always nice) who asked if we had a good journey, checked us in very promptly, given the keycard which also worked the lift (this wasn't too complicated, just hold it to the lift, press which floor and go). We were staying in a Comfortable room which is the most basic, but the room was still very well appointed with a veeeeery comfortable bed, fancy tea, coffee, hot chocolate and luxury biscuits! Also had iron/ironing board and hairdryer and spacious wardrobe to hang up clothes. There was also a TV with Freeview channels and a DVD player. The bathroom was like something from the future, especially the silver panel used to flush the toilet! It has a very spacious shower, the toilet was a little uncomfortable to sit on for relatively long periods of time though as it was a bit narrow. The bed was the most comfortable I have ever slept in!

Went down for our dinner at around 7pm (receptionist asked when we wanted to eat so they were expecting us), this was in the MC Café Bar and Grill which is on the ground floor - they also have the Michael Caines restaurant upstairs but this is shut on Sunday. Sat down to a delicious meal, we paid extra as I didn't like the look of the set menu and my partner wanted a dessert from the a la carte menu (you either order the set menu or get a £22 food allowance between the two of you), I had a rump steak with homemade chips and assorted ice cream scoops - I had coffee, vanilla and white chocolate - for dessert, they were to die for! The steak was perfectly cooked to my liking and I could have eaten a bowl of the chips by themselves. My partner had a fillet of salmon with mushroom tagliatelle and a dark chocolate tart for dessert, he thoroughly enjoyed all of it. The drinks were not too expensive for the standard of hotel - around £4 for a large glass of Rosé and £3 for a bottle of Peroni. They also had a two for £9 deal on cocktails so we had a few of these in the lounge bar which had a very nice relaxed atmosphere for after-dinner drinks. It was very quiet and we had no noises or disturbances at all during our stay and the night while we were sleeping.

Breakfast was also lovely - they had plenty of choice and continental options including cereal, yoghurts, fruit, pastries, proscuito ham and cheese and most kinds of juices you could think of, as well as the full English or other cooked options. I had some cereal, the ham and cheese and then a cooked smoked salmon and scrambled eggs, all of this was divine! My partner also had the ham and cheese, a Danish and a smoked haddock and poached eggs which he loved. We had tea and coffee brought to our table as well which was really nice and again the service was excellent, had a lovely lady checking us out who again was very happy and smiling, chatting to us.

This was a wonderful trip and the hotel is out of this world, I would definitely recommend it to anyone and we are looking to go again around June/July, it's not the cheapest but definitely worth it for the high standards.

Thoroughly impressed with Abode Chester. Great location adjacent to race course but only a minute or two's walk into the city, not to mention award winning restaurants under the same roof.The room was very clean with floor to ceiling windows, giving us views over the River Dee.The reception staff in particular couldn't have been more helpful with our various random questions and making reservations for dinner.Would recommend!
